第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
COLUMBIA City, Indiana------For Robin Smith, the hard plastics company where she works has become a worker’s paradise since the work week was cut from 40 to 30 hours last May with no pay cut.
“I love it. I like spending more time with my family and less time at work and getting paid for it,” said the mother of three.
Hard Plastics is part of a growing number of US companies that are experimenting with the so-called “30/40” plan to replace the 40-hour working week.
Unlike in Europe, where cutting the working week is seen as a way to reduce unemployment, US companies see the 30/40 program mainly as a tool to increase productivity.
At the Hard Plastics plant, some 150 women employees work 6-hour daily for a 30-hour working week. And if they show up every day on time, they receive a 10-hour bonus for the week.
“But if you’re even one minute late, sorry Charlie, no bonus,” said Ronald Richey, the company’s president.
“We’re in a very low unemployment market here, 2.5 percent for the town—Whitley,” said Ronald Richey. “The idea was to draw more quality applicants.”
With 30/40, the company, which employs 325 people at two plants in Indiana and has yearly sales of US $30 million, has greatly broadened its applicant pool. Some 40 people apply every week, among them many with long years of work experience or even college degrees.
The idea was first put forward by industrial psychologist(心理学家) Ron Healey. He said more and more companies were expressing interest in his program and were even testing it.
41. According to the text, what is the “30/40”program? __________
A. An employee works 30 hours a week with 40 hours’ pay.
B. An employee works for 10 hours extra every week and gets paid.
C. A woman employee with a family has the right to work 30 hours a week.
D. A woman employee gets paid even if she stays at home during work hours.
42. A “30/40 plan” is being tested in Hard Plastics with an aim to _________.
A. let working women enjoy their family life
B. improve employees’ working conditions
C. reduce unemployment in Whitley
D. raise the company’s productivity
43. We can learn from the text that with 30/40, the company is able to _______.
A. employ more women workers
B. employ more college graduates
C. choose their employees from among many applicants
D. help the town in its effort to reduce unemployment
44. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Hard Plastics: a worker’s paradise
B. US: shorter week produces more
C. 30/40 program: a better way to reduce unemployment
D. Ron Healey: his contribution to industrial psychology

When a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old plays chess like a future grand master, they are considered as geniuses. Where does the quality of genius come from? Is it all in the genes or can any child be turned into a genius in the future, what should they do?

Science/Health
Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is “yes”, according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months, these devoted to weigh-loss exercise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food lost about 13 pounds and became fitter. Plus 35% of them dropped into the “normal” category. This week, Dr. Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood to a level similar to what’s achieved with Hypertension drugs.

C
What would the world look like if it lost its battle against the greenhouse effect and global warming? We are talking worldwide disaster, including hurricane, earthquake, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age.
This is the scene that faces those who see “The Day After Tomorrow”, a new Hollywood sci-fi (科幻) movie. It is in the second place of US box office chart. Some say that the director, Roland Emmerich, has an uncontrollable desire to destroy the world, especially New York. In 1996, he made “Independence Day”, in which aliens destroy earth. Two years later, he brought “Godzilla” to the screen. This saw a giant monster appear in New York and almost tear the city to pieces.
“The day after tomorrow” shows disaster and destruction on a global scale — all thanks to the weather.
In the movie, Jack Hall, a weather scientist, is the first man to realize that a new ice age is coming. In one of several natural disasters, his son Sam became trapped in New York’s Public Library when a tidal wave strikes the city. He is forced to fight rapidly dropping temperatures. And a pack of hungry wolves escaped from the zoo. Meanwhile, Jack must think of ways to save his son, himself and the whole world. He must follow a hard path north, as everyone else races south to live in warmer climates.
This film also brings a direct attack on the refusal of the current US government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (散发). It is hoped that “The Day After Tomorrow” may encourage a change in the government’s attitude towards environmental protection.
49. This text is meant to ________.
A. introduce a famous director, Richard Emmerich
B. introduce Roland Emmerich and his films
C. introduce the film “The Day After Tomorrow”
D. warn people of the greenhouse effect
50. The three films mentioned in the text share the same features EXCEPT that ________.
A. they are all set with the background New York
B. a terrible disaster happens to New York in the three of them
C. they are all sci-fi movies
D. they all take the second place in US box office chart
51. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph but one?
A. The content of “The Day After Tomorrow”.
B. How Roland Emmerich designed the film.
C. How terrible the weather is.
D. How people fight against nature.
52. What does the writer think of the government’s work on environmental protection?
A. It has been good so far. B. It is far from satisfaction
C. It is optimistic. D. It is satisfactory.
D
I look in the mirror, and I’m not happy with what I see. I don’t have a “perfect” face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with the fair hair, blue eyes, and, or course, a pretty little nose. They’re on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards(广告牌) I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical “perfection”. These billboards not only tell me what to think, but also how to look.
Our society tends to place more importance on a person’s physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries（外科手术）and starve themselves to become this socially constructed physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn’t mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw（下巴）structure, eyes and lips. It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we attempt to prevent the aging process. It’s a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, where you can step back and look at all you’ve achieved. It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees you as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle(皱纹)creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.
I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that “you don’t want anyone to like your appearance. It’s your heart that matters, because beauty fades.” I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die.
53. The main idea of the first paragraph is that_________.
A. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere
B. women have to look beautiful
C. the author doesn’t have a perfect face
D. there are too many beauties in daily life
54. What’s the author’s attitude toward being “old”?
A. It’s a pity that people have to get old.
B. It’s a fruitful and wise time.
C. It’s stupid to try to stay young.
D. It’s a pity that society looks down upon the old.
55.It is_________ that regard（s）the physical beauty as more important.
A. women themselves B. the author’s parents
C. newspapers and magazines D. society
56. What’s the author’s opinion about beauty?
A. The author doesn’t like the beauties our society values.
B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.
C. It is a person’s inner qualities that matter rather than the physical beauty.
D.The author feels appearance is important to a person.

As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.
Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse(丧失), your brain never forgot what you should have done.
Memory works mainly by association(联想). For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re heading out the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter.
Your brain knew where the keys were all along, it just took a round-about way to get there.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.
First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的)pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol (cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.
Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.
“We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkeys made the wrong choice, although they apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.
Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex(ITC), an area of its brain used for visual(视觉)pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.
Meanwhile, more than half of the activity was in different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”
57. The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between___.
A. memory lapse and human brain
B. memory and association
C. memory and television ads
D. memory and our daily life
58. Which of the following best explains the general idea of the text?
A. Your brain may forget something, but not always.
B. Activity is a round-about way to memory.
C. Your brain remembers what you forget.
D. Monkeys have better memory than us.
59. The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice_____.
A. also knew the correct answer B. had the worst memory
C. failed to see the objects well D. had some trouble with its nerve system
60. The underlined word “endures” may best be replaced by______.
A. disappears B. increases C. improves D. remains

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

A
COLUMBIA City, Indiana------For Robin Smith, the hard plastics company where she works has become a worker’s paradise since the work week was cut from 40 to 30 hours last May with no pay cut.
“I love it. I like spending more time with my family and less time at work and getting paid for it,” said the mother of three.
Hard Plastics is part of a growing number of US companies that are experimenting with the so-called “30/40” plan to replace the 40-hour working week.
Unlike in Europe, where cutting the working week is seen as a way to reduce unemployment, US companies see the 30/40 program mainly as a tool to increase productivity.
At the Hard Plastics plant, some 150 women employees work 6-hour daily for a 30-hour working week. And if they show up every day on time, they receive a 10-hour bonus for the week.
“But if you’re even one minute late, sorry Charlie, no bonus,” said Ronald Richey, the company’s president.
“We’re in a very low unemployment market here, 2.5 percent for the town—Whitley,” said Ronald Richey. “The idea was to draw more quality applicants.”
With 30/40, the company, which employs 325 people at two plants in Indiana and has yearly sales of US $30 million, has greatly broadened its applicant pool. Some 40 people apply every week, among them many with long years of work experience or even college degrees.
The idea was first put forward by industrial psychologist(心理学家) Ron Healey. He said more and more companies were expressing interest in his program and were even testing it.
41. According to the text, what is the “30/40”program? __________
A. An employee works 30 hours a week with 40 hours’ pay.
B. An employee works for 10 hours extra every week and gets paid.
C. A woman employee with a family has the right to work 30 hours a week.
D. A woman employee gets paid even if she stays at home during work hours.
42. A “30/40 plan” is being tested in Hard Plastics with an aim to _________.
A. let working women enjoy their family life
B. improve employees’ working conditions
C. reduce unemployment in Whitley
D. raise the company’s productivity
43. We can learn from the text that with 30/40, the company is able to _______.
A. employ more women workers
B. employ more college graduates
C. choose their employees from among many applicants
D. help the town in its effort to reduce unemployment
44. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Hard Plastics: a worker’s paradise
B. US: shorter week produces more
C. 30/40 program: a better way to reduce unemployment
D. Ron Healey: his contribution to industrial psychology

Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is “yes”, according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months, these devoted to weigh-loss exercise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food lost about 13 pounds and became fitter. Plus 35% of them dropped into the “normal” category. This week, Dr. Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood to a level similar to what’s achieved with Hypertension drugs.

What would the world look like if it lost its battle against the greenhouse effect and global warming? We are talking worldwide disaster, including hurricane, earthquake, tidal waves, floods and the beginning of the next Ice Age.
This is the scene that faces those who see “The Day After Tomorrow”, a new Hollywood sci-fi (科幻) movie. It is in the second place of US box office chart. Some say that the director, Roland Emmerich, has an uncontrollable desire to destroy the world, especially New York. In 1996, he made “Independence Day”, in which aliens destroy earth. Two years later, he brought “Godzilla” to the screen. This saw a giant monster appear in New York and almost tear the city to pieces.
“The day after tomorrow” shows disaster and destruction on a global scale — all thanks to the weather.
In the movie, Jack Hall, a weather scientist, is the first man to realize that a new ice age is coming. In one of several natural disasters, his son Sam became trapped in New York’s Public Library when a tidal wave strikes the city. He is forced to fight rapidly dropping temperatures. And a pack of hungry wolves escaped from the zoo. Meanwhile, Jack must think of ways to save his son, himself and the whole world. He must follow a hard path north, as everyone else races south to live in warmer climates.
This film also brings a direct attack on the refusal of the current US government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (散发). It is hoped that “The Day After Tomorrow” may encourage a change in the government’s attitude towards environmental protection.
49. This text is meant to ________.
A. introduce a famous director, Richard Emmerich
B. introduce Roland Emmerich and his films
C. introduce the film “The Day After Tomorrow”
D. warn people of the greenhouse effect
50. The three films mentioned in the text share the same features EXCEPT that ________.
A. they are all set with the background New York
B. a terrible disaster happens to New York in the three of them
C. they are all sci-fi movies
D. they all take the second place in US box office chart

A. The content of “The Day After Tomorrow”.
B. How Roland Emmerich designed the film.
C. How terrible the weather is.
D. How people fight against nature.

D
I look in the mirror, and I’m not happy with what I see. I don’t have a “perfect” face. I look in the magazines and all I see are girls with the fair hair, blue eyes, and, or course, a pretty little nose. They’re on the outside of the buses that I take home, the television programs I watch, and the billboards(广告牌) I walk under. Almost every advertisement I see shows this human physical “perfection”. These billboards not only tell me what to think, but also how to look.
Our society tends to place more importance on a person’s physical beauty, rather than their ability, honesty and character. We have influenced women to go through painful surgeries（外科手术）and starve themselves to become this socially constructed physical model. To be a beautiful woman in the 21st century doesn’t mean that you are a brilliant doctor or caring mother. It means you have the perfect jaw（下巴）structure, eyes and lips. It means that you can be six feet tall and weigh one hundred and ten pounds.
But what about the women who are starting to leave their youth? Instead of looking at aging as a sign of wisdom, we attempt to prevent the aging process. It’s a kind of funny thing to want to look eighteen when fifty. Fifty is a relaxed age, where you can step back and look at all you’ve achieved. It is when your hard work pays off. Unfortunately, our society just sees you as “old”. To stop the aging process, women buy wrinkle(皱纹)creams, do eye lifts and face lifts. They spend thousands of dollars to win the hopeless battle against age.
I remember when I was about thirteen years old and going through teens, I had oily hair, and a half developed body. I hated the way I looked. I used to cry to my mother all the time, but she would just laugh and tell me that “you don’t want anyone to like your appearance. It’s your heart that matters, because beauty fades.” I knew that she was right. If you work on your heart enough, people will start to see the beauty in you, which lasts and remains on even after you die.
53. The main idea of the first paragraph is that_________.
A. photos of beautiful girls can be seen everywhere
B. women have to look beautiful
C. the author doesn’t have a perfect face
D. there are too many beauties in daily life
54. What’s the author’s attitude toward being “old”?
A. It’s a pity that people have to get old.
B. It’s a fruitful and wise time.
C. It’s stupid to try to stay young.
D. It’s a pity that society looks down upon the old.
55.It is_________ that regard（s）the physical beauty as more important.
A. women themselves B. the author’s parents
C. newspapers and magazines D. society
56. What’s the author’s opinion about beauty?
A. The author doesn’t like the beauties our society values.
B. It is not important whether a person looks beautiful or not.
C. It is a person’s inner qualities that matter rather than the physical beauty.
D.The author feels appearance is important to a person.

As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.
Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse(丧失), your brain never forgot what you should have done.
Memory works mainly by association(联想). For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re heading out the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter.
Your brain knew where the keys were all along, it just took a round-about way to get there.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.
First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的)pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol (cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.
Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.
“We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkeys made the wrong choice, although they apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.
Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex(ITC), an area of its brain used for visual(视觉)pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.
Meanwhile, more than half of the activity was in different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”
57. The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between___.
A. memory lapse and human brain
B. memory and association
C. memory and television ads
D. memory and our daily life
58. Which of the following best explains the general idea of the text?
A. Your brain may forget something, but not always.
B. Activity is a round-about way to memory.
C. Your brain remembers what you forget.
D. Monkeys have better memory than us.
59. The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice_____.
A. also knew the correct answer B. had the worst memory
C. failed to see the objects well D. had some trouble with its nerve system
60. The underlined word “endures” may best be replaced by______.
A. disappears B. increases C. improves D. remains
